Markham Merlot 2021

The Estate Vineyards provide the backbone to this vibrant Napa Valley Merlot. Aromas of ripe raspberry and plum jam emerge from the glass, enhanced by caramel notes from oak aging. A bright entry of red fruit flavors balanced by stunning minerality and notes of rich, velvety chocolate-covered cherries. A “Cab-Lovers” Merlot with structure, mid-palate weight, and a long, round finish. .

91 Points - James Suckling

Notes of dark berries, dried cherries, licorice and dark chocolate. Medium- to full-bodied, spiced and dark-fruited with chalky, slightly dry tannins. Succulent finish. A little earthy at the end.

90 Points - Wine Enthusist

A juicy palate of cherries and plums drizzled with chocolate and accents of violet candy and herbs make this an intriguing Merlot. A lightly grippy palate persists with a palate-cleansing finish.
